So far in 2020, the new pro-growth Raleigh City Council has considered 22 rezoning requests; of them, all but six of the most recent ones have been approved. Many of these requests accomplish a goal council members laid out during the campaign last year—to make the city denser. Here are five spots that might get quite a bit taller in the near future.

Approved rezoning: Neighborhood mixed-use (up to 5 stories, 75 feet tall)

Pending rezoning: CX-4 (up to 4 stories, 62 feet tall)
3. 11258 RAVEN RIDGE ROAD
